A photograph of a golden deity murti pair seated on a throne, adorned with layered gold necklaces, a tall crown and a trident, surrounded by a dense arch of marigolds and roses in yellow, purple, red and white. A standing attendant in dark clothing and an orange head cloth holds a lit flame in front of the deities, with a second figure partly visible at the left edge. Below, a dark lingam-like base is wrapped in floral garlands, and the deities' hands are raised in blessing. This appears to be an evening aarti at a temple shrine.
